Israeli Government's Judicial Overhaul Plan Prompts Nationwide Protests and International Criticism

Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition approved legislation to limit the Supreme Court's oversight powers, sparking protests across Israel.
Demonstrators blocked major highways, protested at the airport, and clashed with police over the proposed judicial changes.
Critics argue the overhaul undermines democracy and gives Netanyahu and his allies excessive power.
The Biden administration expressed concerns over the proposed judicial changes seen as an unprecedented threat to Israel's institutions.
Economists warn the legislation could have negative impacts on Israel's economy, currency, global standing, and ability to attract foreign investment.
